In episode 57, Yami Yugi uses this card during his Duel against Seeker. He uses this card to banish a random card in Seeker's hand for three turns and Yugi had to make sure the card banished was an Exodia piece as Yugi had to make sure Seeker did not get the five pieces of Exodia into his hand. It then turns out that the card Yugi took out was "Right Arm of the Forbidden One". "Right Arm of the Forbidden One" remained banished until the Duel was over.

In episode 66, Yami Yugi uses this card during his Duel against Strings while the latter was possessed by Marik Ishtar. When "Slifer the Sky Dragon" (whose ATK was 4000 due to its own effect) attacks "Buster Blader" (whose ATK was 3100 due to it being powered up by its own effect), Yugi activates this card to banish one card in Strings' hand for three truns. This decreases the ATK of "Slifer" to 3000. This allows "Buster Blader" to go in for a counterattack, but Strings uses the effect of "Jam Defender" to let "Revival Jam" intercept the counterattack, destroying it instead. In the next episode, this card's effect expires. When this happened, the card that was banished by this card's effect was returned to Strings' hand.

In episode 99, this card appears when Yami Yugi was building his Virtual World Deck for his Duel against Gansley.

In episode 103, this card appears in a flashback Téa Gardner has when she remembers Yugi talking about "Maha Vailo" looking similar to him and having a great power inside its effect.

In episode 148, this card appears in Yugi's thoughts when Yami Yugi notes that although Pegasus no longer has the Millennium Eye, he was the chosen one and he was the creator of Duel Monsters.
